:the results of 1,590,000 questionaires as to what readings the
boys and girls liked. This was done without the slightest coer

pupil standing and that they should be frank expressions of
taste in reading without any comparison of pupils' lists before
submission.
Norvell is convinced that "by the time young people leave

ones they will follow through later life." High school students

The point is—it cannot too often be; emphasized—that it

a solace in age.
Rails Will Lose 300 Million
In 1947, ICC Is Informed
WASHINGTON. — Dr. Julius H.
Parmelee, director of the bureau of
railway economics of the Associa
tion of American Railroads, estimat
ed that railroads would lose more
than 300 million dollars in 1947 if
present freight rates remained in ef
fect.
Parmelee testified before the In
terstate commerce commission at a
final hearing on the carriers' re
quest for a 25 per cent increase in
freight rates. He followed a num
ber of opposition witnesses.
Parmelee said that since 1939 rail
road wages and the prices of fuel
and supplies had increased more
than 50 per cent, with a resultant
rise in railroad operating costs of
more than two billion dollars a year.
This, he said, was offset only by the
temporary increase in freight rates,
granted last June by the ICC,
which he estimated would produce
about 300 million dollars a year in
additional freight revenue.
Two economists from the produc
tion and marketing administration
of the agriculture department had
sought earlier to show that costs in
connection with refrigeration of rail
shipments had not increased unduly.

Better Apples
Pruning of apple trees does not
increase the total yield, but it does
increase the amount of marketable
fruit. Well pruned trees can be
sprayed more effectively than can
thick trees.
